"Baseball has been a part of my life since I can remember and now I get my baseball fix through umpiring the high school games," Fitzpatrick said. "I get out there two or three times a week and I get to be a part of it without having to deal with some of the things that the coaches have to deal with after the game. There's no win or loss to worry about. I can just walk away. There's no parents to deal with after a game if their kid didn't play or their kid got pulled out or some of those things that go with the sport of baseball. I really enjoy the umpiring. Growing up and playing, I'd umpire Little League and stuff like that, so it's always been something that I've enjoyed."
Part of the reason that Fitzpatrick takes so much pleasure from enforcing the rules of baseball is because as a former coach himself, he knows what current coaches are looking for from the blue.
"A lot of people say, 'Oh, I could never umpire,' but coaching long enough, I know what the coaches want and expect out of the umpires," Fitzpatrick said. "I think that helps me be a better umpire by just knowing what they're looking for game wise. I go out there and work hard. They don't need a big show. It's not about the umpires. It's about trying to make the game as fair for the kids as possible. I think the coaches appreciate that. I get satisfaction of calling a good game. Being able to get out there and do a good job, then walk away unnoticed."
Another part of his role as ump that Fitzpatrick takes joy in is getting to catch up with former teammates and players.
"There's a few guys that played for me that are coaching now and it's always good to see them," Fitzpatrick said. "It's great. There's a few coaches around that I coached with or played with in college. Its really a kick to see all the same people, and see what they are doing. Pretty much every school I go to I know one of the coaches, one way or the other. It's very satisfying to be able to see those guys."
Fitzpatrick was an assistant coach at Reed before took the head coaching reigns for a season. The lone season as the Raiders skipper was as an interim, which allowed Fitzpatrick to test the waters of being a head coach.
"It gave me a chance to see if I wanted to pursue that a little bit down the road," Fitzpatrick said. "It was fun and it was a learning experience. I realized the district probably gets more bang for their buck from their baseball coaches than any other position. The coaches take care of the entire field pretty much year round. They're the ones mowing it, dragging it, overseeing it. They basically are the caretakers of the field besides being the head coach. Overall it was a pretty good experience. I just realized the time commitment was maybe a little bit more than I was willing to commit to. Sometimes it's good to be an assistant coach."
Aside from being the assistant baseball coach, Fitzpatrick also coached the Raiders' girls golf team for six years before stepping down in 2005. Along with those coaching roles, Fitzpatrick also sits on the Middle School Athletic Leadership Committee while also coaching basketball at Mendive Middle School, where he teaches.
"It's a kick," Fitzpatrick said. "At that age they are still willing to go out there and put out an effort and have fun. They are willing to try different things and every day is different. People think that middle school teachers are a little bit off their rocker. Every day is different though. You never know what the mood of those 12-, 13-, 14-year-olds are going to be from day to day. At the same time that's one of the best things about coaching varsity level sports was that I got to see kids at a more mature level who are more focused and more driven to be successful at their sports. It was a nice balance for me."
For Fitzpatrick, he said he is involved with so many youth sports because he feels a key learning experience for kids.
"I think that they learn a lot of values especially putting aside their individual self to become part of a team," Fitzpatrick said. "When they do that and when a whole team is able to do that, it shows what a team, and in the bigger picture a group, can really excel beyond what the pieces of the team would lead you to believe they could get to."
It is that reason that Fitzpatrick feels it is crucial for kids to participate in sports and why he remains in such an active role. Despite all of the volunteer time that is required, whether it be coaching or umpiring, Fitzpatrick enjoys every day of it.
"I am just able to pass on my love of sports and competition that I grew up with and the respect I had for my coaches throughout my life," Fitzpatrick said. "It's kind of like a payback. Sports got me up to college and got me my education so it's a way of paying back my coaches indirectly I guess."

Awesome Bag- Chrome Beater
I started commuting to work and needed to pick up a waterproof bag as my old North Face wouldn't keep out the rain. I had first picked up a Chrome Soyuz off a cycling deal site, but the next day came across the Project 2 Bike Bag on another deal site. After doing a little comparison shopping, I realized I had made a horrible mistake with the Chrome bike bag. First, it wasnt completely H2O-proof. Second, it had a funky opening that made it tricky to get stuff in and out. Lastly, no integrated light (not a big deal, but heh, it's cool). So I ordered the P2 and initiated a return on the Chrome bag before it even arrived. When I got the P2, I was blown away by the storage space - first day I used it a trucked in a couple dress shirts, an overcoat, a laptop, some notebooks, etc. The expanding compartment gave me plenty of room. On the way home, I zipped it back down and had a nice low profile bag. Over the course of that week, I repeated, loading up the cavernous bag with suits, shirts, shoes, etc. At night, I zipped the bag down and zipped home. Two of those days in a nasty mix of snow, sleet, rain, and wind. Everything, in particular the laptop, stayed dry. And don't forget the handy phone pocket on the front strap - start up your trip app of choice and stick it in the pocket. All told, after looking for months and almost going with a more heavily marketed bag, I found the P2 backpack by chance and am extremely pleased with my purchase. When you consider the price I paid, I couldn't be happier.
Absolutely Incredible
An absolutely incredible blend of engineering, protection, and comfort. This is my second Brenthaven laptop case; my first lasted me 8 or 9 years and was still operable when I retired it for the Kona. No overload on little compartments that just make you end up spreading your tiny toys in even more scattered places, no awkward strap-fitting when your bag is jammed, and you can walk into walls to your heart's content and not drop a sweat about busting up that $3K MBP.

30 Day Dieters is a site that has set out to refute Morgan Spurlocks's movie Supersize
Me. The site is chock full o' testimonials from people who ate at McDonald's over a 30 day period and lost weight, which is a contary position from the main thesis (and some would say 'gimmick') of Spurlock's film.
For the record, I believe that people can lose weight in a variety of ways, as it's more about food discipline than it is about the foods you eat. Portioned properly enough, a person can lose weight subsisting on a diet of fried chicken. But that's not what I want to point out here.
Notice who is sponsoring the 30 day dieter's site…Tech Central Station(TCS). Who is Tech Central Station? They're a division of DCI Group, L.L.C.
Who is DCI, L.L.C.? They are a United States lobbying and public relations firm, whose client list just happens to include fast food giant McDonald's.
Saaaaayyyy…you don't think these facts are related, do you? That's not exactly an uninfluenced opinion there.

GFOA of the US & Canada
Characteristics of a Financially Resilient Government
There are eight characteristics of a financially resilient government. You can learn much more about financial resiliency and its characteristics in
GFOA's resiliency whitepaper
. Avoiding a single point of failure or reliance on a single solution.
Keep a multi-faceted perspective on financial health. Consider more than revenues and expenditures. Keep in mind land-uses, demographics, long-term liabilities, and other factors impacting financial position.
Maintain a diversity of funds to reduce reliance on the general fund. For example, use internal service funds for support services or special funds to account for non-current liabilities like OPEB.
Enlarge the base of supportive constituents. Engage those beyond your core constituency. They also may pay taxes, vote in elections, and volunteer to help.
. Having more than one path of escape.
Maintain a reserve policy to prevent the use of reserves for recurring expenditures. Specify the purpose of reserves in the policy.
Institutionalize financial planning through governance practices like financial policies. This will help make sure good practice continues beyond the tenure of current officials.
Engage citizens in financial planning so that citizens come to recognize the value of financial planning and demand it from their government.
Pursue multiple strategies for long-term financial health.
. Centralized systems look strong, but when they fail, the failure is catastrophic.
Make managers manage their cost and revenue structures so that budget control does not depend on centralized monitoring.
Engage departments in identifying financial issues, analyzing them, and developing strategies. This creates strategic financial thinking in the departments.
Engage departments in financial modeling and forecasting. Use HR to help forecast personnel costs. Use departments to help project the revenues they generate. This improves the quality of the forecast and the credibility of the forecast with audiences.
Develop an organization-wide strategic framework that departments can innovate within. A strategic framework helps make sure everyone pulls in the same direction and provides for a common basis of discussion about organizational goals and, consequently, what money should be spent on.
. Don't hide your systems. Transparency makes it easier to figure out where a problem may lie. Share your plans and preparations, and listen when people point out flaws.
Promote transparency in areas like goals and objectives, forecast assumptions, and reserve standards. Transparency leads to trust in the system. People are more likely to support and follow a system they trust.
Use full-cost (direct and indirect) accounting for programs. This makes the cost of doing business transparent and leads to better decisions on resource allocation.
. Working together to become stronger.
Build elected officials' service priorities into the long-term financial plan. Elected officials will be more supportive of a plan that is aligned with their service goals.
Provide elected officials a role in that planning process – a role they can thrive in. Roles particularly well suited to elected officials are defining service priorities, identifying critical issues that could impact the financial health of the government, and validating key forecast assumptions.
Orient elected officials to the planning process. Use workshops, one-on-one meetings, and peer interactions to help new and existing officials learn about resilient characteristics.
Use key indicators to help elected officials stay abreast of financial condition.
Fail gracefully
. Failure happens. Make sure a failure state won't make things worse.
Recognize changing conditions to make a soft landing through regular forecasting and environmental scanning. Update forecasts regularly and communicate deteriorating conditions promptly and openly to the board.
Promote financial plan credibility and open dialogue to learn from and correct failure. A projected imbalance isn't cause for recrimination – it is an opportunity to take preventative action to avoid crisis.
. Be ready to change when plans are not working. Don't count on stability.
Regularly diagnose the strategic environment to know when flexibility may be required. Develop an institutional habit of taking time to look beyond the day-to-day business of government for issues that could impact financial health.
Create financial models to show the impact of changes.
Evolve and adapt the financial planning process itself to accommodate new issues and participants, keep up with best practices, and otherwise adapt to the needs of a changing organization.
. You can't predict the future, but you can hear its footsteps approaching. Think and prepare.
Develop effective forecasting techniques. Use forecasts to identify the parameters within which to develop and execute strategies, rather than to try to "predict" the future. Develop capacity for flexible scenario modeling to show the impact of different possible futures.
Build capacity among staff and elected officials for diagnosing strategic issues. Strategic diagnosis is like a muscle – if it is not used, it will atrophy.
Complement financial planning with other long-term plans. Connect long-term financial planning to the long-term plans prepared by operating departments to increase the quality of forecasting and analysis of the economic and financial environment.

Ohio in need of an official country song?
The Columbus Dispatch - November 05, 2013 2:11 PM
Apparently Ohio is in need of an official state country song and Rep. Nick Barborak has one in mind.
The Lisbon Democrat introduced House Bill 330, with co-sponsors Reps. Bob Hagan, D-Youngstown, and Stephen Slesnick, D-Canton. The bill, introduced today, would make the song "Ohio" by Zachary J. Paxson the official country song.
Here's the chorus:
So give me a cold one at the end of the day
and a "w" for the scarlet and gray
this still is the greatest place that I've ever known
OHIO, OHIO, we're the pulse of America here in the heart of it all
According to Paxson's bio "Zach Paxson is a blue collar, hard working American just like the majority of people in this country…But the burning desire and calling of music lead him to Nashville TN in 2011 where he recorded his first CD titled "Good Luck With That" at the Beaird Music Group." He has a second album called "Simple Life."
And while we are on the subject, let's look at other songs titled "Ohio." (Some are more well-known than others.)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Black Keys
Patty Griffin featuring Robert Plant
Annie in the Water

A Night to Remember
David Savona
From the Print Edition:
Tom Berenger, July/Aug 2007
Springtime in New York City, and the Grill Room of the Four Seasons Restaurant was shoulder-to-shoulder with men in tuxedos smoking cigars. They had gathered together in an effort to bring an end to prostate cancer at Cigar Aficionado's 15th annual Night to Remember dinner, which has raised more than $15 million over the years for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. This year's auction raised $1.2 million, including $600,000 in matching funds from Michael Milken, the charity's founder and chairman.
Marvin R. Shanken, the editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado magazine and the creator of the event, walked through the room greeting the guests, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican presidential hopeful and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, radio personality Rush Limbaugh and Milken, the evening's co-host.
|Frank Arcella, Lee Einsidler, William Terlato and Tom Steffanci.
|Hazel Shanken, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Milken in the Four Seasons Pool Room.
The elite of the cigar industry were in attendance, including Cooper Gardiner, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Sherwin Seltzer, Mike Giannini, Bill Chilian, Victoria McKee, Jermaine Gurvin and Keith Sparacio of General Cigar Co.; Carlos Fuente Jr. and Wayne Suarez of Tabacalera A. Fuente; José Orlando and Jorge Padrón, makers of Padrón cigars; Robert Levin, owner of the Ashton brand, who was there with his wife, Suzanne, and son Sathya; Litto Gomez, maker of La Flor Dominicana;

Shanken took to the dais and welcomed the sold-out crowd of some 230 guests, many of whom had attended the dinner for more than 10 years. "The first thing we do," said Shanken with a smile, "is we auction off some modest bottles of wine." His joke became clear as he lifted a massive bottle of wine, cloaked in a brown paper bag. It was the first mystery wine, and by Night to Remember tradition, the bottle's contents would remain anonymous until bidding had ceased, and the winner would share it immediately with his lucky tablemates. Bottle No. 1 went for $18,000, won by Limbaugh, who typically buys the first bottle. It was revealed as a 2000 Mouton-Rothschild -- and it had been donated by Limbaugh.
|Sal Fontana, Carlos Fuente Jr. and Christian Eiroa share a smoke before dinner.
The tables were set with towers of hors d'oeuvres, and the waiters soon filled glasses with M. Chapoutier Hermitage White Chante-Alouette 2003 to pair with the appetizer course of stone crab claws with mandarin yuzu, followed by a pasta course of gnocchi with chanterelles, morels and tiny spring peas. That was followed by sirloin steak in a black truffle sauce, paired with zucchini blossoms stuffed with bleu cheese, which went with the red wine of the evening, Caymus Special Selection 2004. Dessert was paired with a 37-year-old Vintage Port, Taylor Fladgate 1970.

PASCO, WA -- The Boise Hawks season high five game win streak came to an end with a 5-3 loss to Tri-City, Wednesday night.
The Dust Devils scored two runs in the first off of starter Jin-Young Kim, who lasted for just the one inning, but that didn't stop Tri-City from scoring more as they added another run in the second to take a 3-0 lead.
A Rafael Lopez single in the third got Boise on the board, but that's as close as the Hawks would get.
A couple highlights came from outfielder Reggie Golden who went 3-for-3, while Lopez and Travis Garcia each recorded two hits.
The Dust Devils and the Hawks finish up their series Thursday night.

"The Bobcats have finished with a winning record just once and have made just one playoff appearance during their nine-year franchise history. The Hornets finished with a winning record eight times and qualified for the playoffs seven times during their 14 seasons in Charlotte, advancing out of the first round on four occasions."
So the Hornets name is the key to our returning to success, right? Ok so let's look at the last paragraph in this article and break it down. The Bobcats had only one winning season in 9 years. Why was that? Could it have had anything to do with the coach they had that year, namely one Larry Brown? Absolutely and if you deny that you know nothing about the sport. So why did they get rid of him? Because he grumbled for good reason a little bit? Why would you want to take a team apart that had just won you your first playoff appearance? Why would you get rid of Raymond Felton? How stupid. Larry Brown was pissed off for good reason. He (Larry) and he alone got that team to where it was. The only involvement anybody else had including Jordan was to cooperate with the changes Larry wanted to make. They claimed to get tired of Larry's continual requests for personnel changes. Well whatever he was doing was working, wasn't it? What do you do in such a case? You back the hell off and let him do what he's good at. Of course Larry's response to the trade of Felton was what led to his firing. He disclosed his displeasure to Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson who in turn informed management that they weren't sure Larry's heart was still with the Bobcats. The firing came soon thereafter. My question is what kind of respect do you have for your coach when he is one of the last ones to find out about the departure of a key player like Felton? It sounds obvious to me he was never consulted about it. Maybe they knew what he'd say so they didn't bother asking him. That of course was their prerogative but look at what such arrogance has cost. The Charlotte Bobcats have sucked ever since. And they will continue to suck as the Charlotte Hornets if things remain the way they are with management, and that begins with Michael Jordan. After some time following his firing Larry Brown disclosed something else about the team he had noticed. He said that some of the guys in the Bobcat front office didn't have a clue. How can you disagree with that? If you do let me ask you again; Who brought the Bobcats their only winning season and trip to the playoffs? I rest my case.

"She wouldn't make any noise during sex," Levine said. "I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type. But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it 'ruined her concentration.' It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny."
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Well, I wouldn't mind...
pure fake,he never would say that or if he did its because he have a small dick!
but this is fake!!!
omg!!! levine wanted attention thats why he said that... he's such a despicable creature!!! he shouldnt have said that...
i think levine is a gay, a real man wouldnt say something like that...
Man, this stuff really makes me angry... grrrrr
Does anybody really beleave this crap??
And hey, i would not mind if she doesn't make any sound (( i don't think she sould lay still[8-)] ))
What the he// am i talking about, this is one big nonsense
i just read this on perezhilton.com
i didnt even know that they were dating....
what a real gentlemen... (sarcasm)
I don't beleive that. It's idiocy.
This Levine is certainly disappointed that he couldn't land at Maria
and now this is a sort of revange and he wants to make some rumour about his person.
man, that's cruel! but if he was unable to make masha scream... then he ain't good in bed either!
I dont think that is true. Levine looks like a decent guy, i would be really surprised if he said that.
but if he was unable to make masha scream... then he ain't good in bed either!
I meen true on that, but really don't think that he even date'd Maria...
source:: perezhilton.com
Playboy Adam Levine is denying he made these crass comments about having sex with tennis player Maria Sharapova.
The Maroon 5 singer's publicist, Dvora Englefield, emailed PerezHilton.com and gave us this exclusive quote:
"I represent Maroon 5 and wanted to let you know that the quote onyour site [from the Russian newspaper] isn't true. Adam never saidthis, and they only met once at Maria's birthday party in 2004.
guy's in idiot, whether he said it or not.... he had to of said something for something like this to go into the media

Billy desk
Materials: Billy bookshelf, board (76x75cm), 2 table-legs (Vika Kaj), screws, 4 screwing angles, edge tape
1. Fix up Billy without the back board and without the middle shelf
2. Install "middle shelf" not in the middle but at an appropriate height for your desktop (I chose 75cm). Use screws and 4 L brackets to fix the self.
3. Align the edge flush to the edge of the board
4. Fix the table-legs under the board
5. Lay the board on the "middle shelf" and fix it there with screws from below
I eliminated the backboard because I otherwise had problems guiding my cables from the desktop down to the electrical socket.

That's pretty cool!
That is pretty awesome!
pretty cool but bad for your pc health.
remember, a pc must always have space for fan(breathe)
Not to mention the speaker / sub woofer flush up against the tower. Baaaad idea.
Spinning hard drives will not appreciate this – I know, I made the same mistake some years ago. The speakers are shielded and computer safe – but – my hard drives did not like the bass vibration. One wipe and reformat later and I learned to never do that again.
Where did you get the 75×76 board? Ikea as well?
Very Nice! PC placement is accurate with all accessories. looking fabulous…….
Lovely! Great idea and great inspiration – I would love to try this myself. Thanks for the good instructions and photos.
I'm glad you like it! I got the board from a hardware store where it was cut exactly to the measure needed.
As the fan for my PC is on the side showing to the room, I hope no damage will be done to it. But thx for the warning:-)
Looks like that PC also has a vent on top. It should be alright.
I was looking for a solution to upgrade my home office for years now. Built it twice and made a whole wall of Billys and BillyDesks for me and my girlfriend. DANKE Lena für diese wunderbare Idee!
I love the chair! I love it!
Genius, thank you, I have a small box room, was struggling to see the answer! Already have the large

Photographing a Dogfight Between Two Eagles
Here's the story of how I was in the right-place at the right-time for a special series of eagle photographs.
I was driving down a dirt road near my house when I spotted a red-tailed hawk sitting on the ground. I pulled over for a shot, thinking it may be feeding on something, but it took off and flew across the road in front of me.

Microgrids and the Enterprise Platform
Green Energy Corp has refocused its business strategy on building a full-service microgrid development capability called "Enterprise Platform."
The Enterprise Platform strategy is centered around "microgrids" and our ability to provide full-service implementations. Microgrids are small-scale power production and delivery systems comprised of distributed generation facilities co-located with the loads they serve. Microgrids incorporate multiple types of energy generation, storage and loads, allowing for high utilization of renewable energy resources, thereby creating economic and environmental benefits to its customers. Microgrids are able to be connected to the Utility grid to purchase power from the grid or sell power back to the grid as conditions dictate. Microgrids can be designed to operate "islanded" when the Utility grid is not available, continuing to provide sustainable power to their local customers, as observed in the Northeast during Hurricane Sandy.
In November 2012, Green Energy Corp completed an investment transaction with a syndicate comprised of AXvantage, Inc. (AXi) and Cambridge Global Consulting (CGC) (together (AXi/CGC). AXi/CGC has actively participated in creating enterprise value for Green Energy Corp.
In March of this year we completed a merger with Horizon Energy Group and Horizon Microgrid Solutions (together "Horizon"). The merged companies operate as Green Energy Corp and are headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. Horizon is a leader in microgrid design and implementation. Horizon's advanced design for optimizing microgrid operations for economic, reliability, and emissions objectives is recognized throughout the industry as the way of the future. Horizon is the leading U.S. designer of utility and campus microgrids and one of the leading microgrid developers in the U.S.
Our Enterprise Platform capabilities include design, engineering, project financing, construction, operations and maintenance, and of course the GreenBus® software platform to manage each phase in the implementation life cycle. We believe microgrids will be the preferred future for expanding and modernizing the nation's aging central power grid and the related market is poised for explosive growth.
MaaS – Microgrids as a Service
This month, we have introduced a new product line entitled Microgrids as a Service ("MaaS"). In addition to developing our own microgrids, with MaaS we offer packaged solutions to third party microgrid developers that enable them to utilize the GreenBus® and Green Energy Corp's expertise to build and deploy microgrids. We capture this capability as a microgrid "toolset" comprised of the software, design and engineering packages, equipment recommendations, construction methods, operations and maintenance support and financial instruments - all delivered from a hosted environment (cloud) managed by Green Energy Corp. The MaaS approach allows us to collaborate with large and small developers to attain recurring revenue streams from the deployment of microgrids worldwide. Please refer to the following article in "Smart Grid News" which reflects the industry response to our MaaS concept.
Software Engineering Services
Green Energy Corp is a leading provider of software engineering services and is widely recognized for our in-depth technical skills, proven experience and customer-centric values. Our application design and development expertise is honed to develop large, scalable, extensible systems originating from the foundational architecture and standards adherence to the interpretation of protocols, development of firmware, and implementation of web-enabled systems using SOA Architectures.

With only two days left in Portland, I was beyond stoked to wake up to sunshine for the first time in weeks! This rain here has been getting on my last nerve! With the weather bearable for once, Mace and I were ready for an adventure. Diaper bag packed, kiddo fed, nanny filled with coffee, and off we went. First stop- Voodoo Doughnuts! Maple Bacon Doughnut.. Hellllloooo yummy!
Next on our list, we met up with little man's girlfriend and a friend of mine and went for a walk by the river. It was soooo crowded down there, so we headed toward the Pearl district to do some shopping. With Mace fast asleep in the stroller, we headed that way. After about 12 blocks, we finally made it. By that time, we all had food on our mind. We found a cozy little place, relaxed, and pigged out. 2 bottles, some solids, and a huge nacho plate later, we were on our way to finally shop! Of course after an hour of shopping, it was dinner time again, so off we went all the way to the other side of town again to meet Mommy and Daddy in between shows! After a full day of pushing a stroller up and down the hills of this crazy town, this nanny was pooped! Finally, made it home, for a relaxing night inside with my favorite little man. What a day!
Until our next adventure,
xoxo, bri.

About Me Brand Buyer
Comments about Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer Super Size 4oz:
I've only used it a few times but I can already tell a difference. Am a 25 year old female so I was looking for something to prevent aging as well as even out the blotches and bad skin texture that I already have. It was a bit over budget but I went for it. The smell and sheen had me right away, and the packaging and tub are well designed. Sleek enough to keep above counter. The product works like a dream. You know those rare days when your skin looks especially dewy and you're like "how I do get this all the time?!" This lotion is the answer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

text: WisconsinEye is a statewide multimedia public affairs network. Our mission is to present an independent, statewide view of civic life and public policy discussion, beginning with nonpartisan, gavel-to-gavel coverage of state government in Madison, both on the air and on the Internet.Our 70 camera positions in the Capitol span all three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial. The network's robotic cameras cover floor sessions of the state Senate and Assembly and also legislative committee hearings, all in their entirety. We cover oral arguments in the Wisconsin Supreme Court and events in the Governor's and Attorney General's conference rooms. With our field cameras, we cover news conferences and other events throughout the Capitol as well as other forums where public policy is discussed and debated.In addition to our cameras in the Capitol, our network operations center in Madison is equipped with state-of-the-art digital studio facilities. Our goal is to serve as an open, independent, and nonpartisan platform for discussion of ideas and action concerning society, culture, and public policy. We operate on the principle of access; access to ideas, access by all Wisconsin to the public square, and public access to decision-makers and others who would influence public policy. Our studio programming features roundtable discussions and interview programs about the many aspects of Wisconsin public life, including Wisconsin books and authors.Statewide, we're focused on the broad range of activities involving individuals, organizations, and communities working toward a shared concept of the common good. Taken as a whole, this activity constitutes "Civic Wisconsin." It enriches the public life that is the foundation of our democratic society and fosters our representative system of government.Civic Wisconsin happens everywhere in the state, in every community, in the words and actions of elected officials and government agencies as well as with civic-minded organizations, businesses, and individuals. All are committed to working together toward a better quality of life for ourselves and future generations of Wisconsin residents. WisconsinEye is a window on this vital part of Wisconsin life, helping bring Wisconsin together in shared understanding of both the differences that help define us and our common values and interests. Civic Wisconsin. It's obviously a big beat but were happy to have the assignment. Like other news organizations, WisconsinEye needs help from our audience to let us know about stories that need to be told. We want to hear about local events and issues of statewide interest.

Republicans largely cheered on Thursday the apparent killing of Libyan leader Moammar Khaddafy, though a number of the party's standard-bearers had expressed initial criticism of President Barack Obama's action to help remove the dictator from power.
Khaddafy's death after having been deposed in August would seem, at first glance, to provide some measure of validation to Obama's strategy in Libya. The president authorized the U.S. to join in limited airstikes with NATO in consultation with international partners and institutions.
That decision won him little praise from the GOP, and opposition even from members of his own party, and especially the GOP presidential hopefuls vying for Obama's job.
Almost none of the candidates had pressed for as aggressive of a strategy as Obama pursued, joining NATO efforts to launch airstrikes targeting Khaddafy himself, and assisting Libyan rebels looking to overthrow the regime.
All of the Republicans candidates found ways to be critical of Obama at the time. But in a reflection that the GOP has shifted to an extent from its more hawkish stance during the Bush administration, few of the candidates endorsed Obama's intervention there; only two candidates, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty – who's no longer in the race – called for Obama to be more forceful.
But most of the other Republicans in the field might be forced to come to terms with what may be considered an ultimately successful, if extended, operation.
Republicans, particularly on Capitol Hill, were vocally critical of the intervention authorized this spring by Obama, in which U.S. troops joined NATO forces in launching a series of targeted airstrikes aimed at driving Khaddafy from power, and aiding rebel forces in Libya.
Republicans were largely – though not uniformly – critical of the intervention at the time. 225 House Republicans, joined by 70 Democrats, voted in June against a resolution authorizing the campaign against Khaddafy. But the House GOP was more split in a subsequent vote on defunding military action in Libya; 144 Republicans voted for that measure, but 89 Republicans voted against it.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who emerged as one of the foremost critics of the operations in Libya, was one such Republican to split her vote.
"President Obama has failed to articulate our goals and strategies or even provide a vital national interest in Libya," she said in a statement following those votes. At the same time, in a June presidential debate, Bachmann accused Obama of "not leading" when it came to international policy toward Libya.
She was joined by other candidates in the field in opposition to the strikes against Libya.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said the intervention was "not core to our national security interest," and argued the U.S. should let the situation "play out."
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had advocated establishing a no-fly zone over Libya, but said after Obama launched the effort that he would have not intervened.
And Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a dogged critic of most U.S. intervention, had similarly opposed the intervention in Libya.
Ironically, it was the three candidates who lead in current polling – former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry –with the most scant records on the Libyan intervention.
Romney in particular sought to thread the needle, carefully voicing support for the military action in Libya, while sharply criticizing Obama, accusing him of "leading from behind" when it came to the intervention by following the lead of other countries and international bodies like the United Nations.
And Cain condemned Obama for lacking clarity in the president's approach toward Libya and Syria, but stopped short of voicing opposition to the airstrikes in Libya.
"We need a real clear national security strategy with every nation on the planet, friend or foe. We obviously didn't have that, because you can see between those two examples [Syria and Libya] inconsistencies between the president's decision, and in his action," he said at a debate in May.
And Perry wasn't even a candidate when Obama first launched the airstrikes; he enjoys the luxury of not having any real criticism in the past against which he'll be measured.
Virtually all Republicans, even those who were critical of Obama's initial intervention, celebrated Khaddafy's killing on Thursday.
"It's about time. Khaddafy, a terrible tyrant, that killed his own people, and murdered Americans and others in the tragedy in Lockerbie. The world is a better place with Khaddafy gone," Romney said following a town hall meeting in Iowa, per NBC's Garrett Haake and Alex Moe.
But the question of whether Obama deserves credit (Romney avoided a question in Iowa about whether Obama does) could be the way in which candidates now distinguish themselves from Obama. And beyond that, they'll keep the pressure on Obama about how he handles the situation going forward.
"The United States should work closely with Libya to ensure the transition is successful, and that a stable, peaceful nation emerges," Perry said in a statement hailing Khaddafy's death. "The U.S. must also take an active role in ensuring the security of any remaining stockpiles of Qaddafi's weapons. These weapons pose a real danger to the United States and our allies, and we cannot help secure them through simple observation."

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 21, 2012 – Old Dominion scored once in each half on penalty corners and held the James Madison field hockey team scoreless, to earn a 2-0 win at the JMU Field Hockey Complex on Sunday afternoon.
ODU, ranked ninth in this week's Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll, remained unbeaten in Colonial Athletic Association play, improving to 6-0 in the league and 12-4 overall. JMU dropped to 9-7 on the season and 3-3 in CAA play.
The Monarchs were led by forward Sarah Breen and defensive back Christy Longacre with one goal each. Breen also led the team with 10 shots, including eight on goal. Midfielders Rosario Villagra, Maartje van Rijswijk and Lydia Velzian all added an assist for ODU. Forward Kimberly Oakes was the only other player with multiple shots, recording three with all of the being on net.
Redshirt freshman forward Taylor West (Princess Anne, Md./Pocomoke) tallied three shots for Madison, including one on goal and one off the post. Sophomore back Dana Allaband (Elkton, Md./Rising Sun) had Madison's only other shot of the game.
Freshman goalkeeper Lena Wimmert (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany/Lise-Meitner Gymnasium) tied her season-high with 11 saves in the loss. She dropped to 9-7 with the loss, allowing two goals in 70 minutes of action. Redshirt junior back Sam Smiertka (Townsend, Del./St. Thomas More) added a defensive save, giving her a team-best two on the season.
Marla Petriello made two saves in recording the shutout. She took the win to improve to 10-2 on the season.
The Monarchs outshot the Dukes 18-4 in the game and held a 7-4 advantage in penalty corners attempted. JMU made 12 saves to two for ODU.
After playing scoreless through the first 13 minutes of action, ODU broke onto the scoreboard on a penalty corner in the 14th minute. Villagra inserted the ball to van Rijswijk who stopped it and set it up for Breen. The rookie fired a low, hard shot that deflected in off a Madison defender for her 12th goal of the season.
Just over 40 minutes later, Old Dominion struck for another penalty corner this time it was Velzian slipping a pass to Longacre on the left side of the scoring area. Longacre one-timed a shot that found the goal for her ninth tally of the season.
JMU battled back and had a few attempts late in second half, including winning three straight penalty corners. Some nifty passing found West open for a shot at the top of the scoring area. Her blast found its way through the defense, but found the post to keep the shutout in order.
The Dukes conclude their regular season next weekend as they travel Newark, Del. for a meeting with Delaware on Friday.

Free whale-y: Fisherman find and untangle last month's trapped whale
Mar Torres/AFP/Getty Images
A gray whale found tangled up in nets and towing nylon line off the coast of Southern California in mid-April, has been completely freed of debris, says the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.
Fisherman found the whale on Friday off the coast of Bodega Bay and removed approximately 120 feet of rope from the animal.
Nicknamed June, the 40-foot California gray whale, a protected animal, was first spotted last month near Laguna Beach with line stuck on its pectoral fin and another line lodged in its mouth. Rescuers began to cut away at the debris, and floats were attached to help spot the creature later.
The Spud Point Crab Company fishermen said they also removed the two floats today, according to Melissa Sciacca of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, who was thrilled to "have such a happy ending."
Resuming search: Gray whale found with tangled fin, line lodged in its mouth
Mar Torres/AFP/Getty Images
Rescuers from the Marine Mammal Center and the U.S. Coast Guard are searching Wednesday for an adult gray whale found towing and tangled up in nets off the coast yesterday.
The 40-foot California gray whale, a protected animal, was first spotted near Laguna Beach with 50-100 feet of line stuck on its left pectoral fin and another line stuck in its mouth.
Partially freed by a team yesterday, the attempted rescue marked the third trapped-whale incident the center has been involved within the past month.
The location of the animal, about 10 miles offshore, posed a high risk to the rescue team, said Melissa Sciacca, the center's director of development. Work on liberating the distressed animal, who she said seemed like a healthy adult, was suspended around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. They had hoped to continue the work on Wednesday.

I worked at CIT full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Salary, benefits, and vacation were good
Cons – Top management is systematically purging all of the loyal employees who kept the company going through bankruptcy, taking on multiple roles and stepping up to get the job done. This will eventually haunt them when the economy picks up and the brain drain is controlled by the employees not management.
Advice to Senior Management – Be faithful to those that run the business day-to-day and treat them with some respect.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

See pic below.
Smelled a lil musty and it turned out the plumbers who installed the checkvalve also reused one of the old cleanout caps, which was easily removed by hand. I removed that and put a new one in.
As well, I decided to open up the checkvalve cover as I never saw the mechanisim inside.
It was tight on screws, but I'm going to presume you want it tight tight so that the gasket is fully seated --- so that in the event of water, the water is contained from the checkvalve door as well as no water leaking out of that cap.
Are there supposed to be washers under these nutscrews in order to properly spread the torque load on the cover ?
Not sure if I should go pick some up and put them there.

Millions of workers experience violence or the threat of violence in their workplaces every year. These crimes range from physical assaults to robbery and homicide. Although the numbers of such crimes have significantly declined in recent years, workplace violence is the second-leading cause of occupational injury. Workers in certain occupations—such as nurses, utility workers, taxi drivers, letter carriers, and especially those who work alone or at night—are particularly vulnerable. Unlike other crimes, the greatest proportions of these crimes are committed by strangers. The majority of workplace homicides are shootings committed by robbers. Decreasing the occurrence of these crimes is a growing concern for employers and employees nationwide.

Yep - I still love this thread
That is really neat Megan about your family really being your family in blood and not just love.
@Megan That is a find you will cherish forever. I too got goose bumps! Really happy for you!!
Amazing story!
I'm related to the poet John Godfrey Saxe on my mother's side... I think he was actually on my mother's mother's side, but don't quote me on that. I've been thinking about buying a book of his poetry from Amazon and seeing if I like any of it since I'm scared to/not allowed to read the books my mother has of his work since they're all from the 1800's and not in very good condition.
Indecently I've also got a Native American in my family tree (on my mother's mother's side) she was the family's 'dirty secret'... my Great Great Grandfather's family didn't want anyone to know... her name was Annettie (my middle name is Annette after her because my Nana misspelled it when she gave my mom her middle name and my mom gave me her middle name, but we're both technically named after Annettie...) She (Annettie) was actually from Canada (so really she was Native Canadian) if I recall correctly... I think my mom has some of her documents. I've heard Iroquois and Mohawk tossed around but I think one is actually part of the other so I think it's possible to be both... if anyone knows which one is a sub-sect of the other I would love to know... also it should be noted that although my Great Great Grandfather's family was ashamed of her pretty much every generation since has been proud to call her ours.
My aunt's cousin is Kellie Pickler according to her grandmother. I also know that my great great great grandmother was a Native American princess in the Mic Mac/Algonquin tribe around New England, not exactly famous but still a cool fact nonetheless!
hi conway tweety was my cousin his real name was harold jenkins my grandmother use to keep him when he was little.
There is no one interesting in my family, but it is sure enjoyable reading your stories. Most of all the two brothers.
Here is a neat story about how my dad's parents met.
My dad's parents we pen pals before they met. My grandma submitted her name and information to a children's magazine that she read and my grandpa also read. In August of 1952 her information was put in the magazine.
In the first letter that he wrote to my grandma he had her name wrong, because the people at the magazine printed it wrong (they wrote Leda instead of ALeda - you can see it near the bottom of the page - Leda Talbot). After they had been writing for a while my grandpa and his mom flew to Utah (from Vancouver, B.C. Canada) to meet my grandma and her family. After my grandpa returned to Canada they continued to write and my grandparents were married on 31 March 1958.
Not really famous or infamous but a fun story none the less
OMG that is just so WONDERFUL! Your grandma is famous...she was printed in a magazine...LOL. Anyway, I am so glad you shared it especially the page of the magazine! What fun!
great Story, Thank you for Sharing, Kelenna. I enjoyed so much.
No one as far as I know. My fiance's family is related to a past US president. I can't remember his name. It's nice to read others stories
I'm not related to anyone famous, that I know of. But both sides of my family are split 50/50 with Irish and Cherokee Indian. My mothers side of the family can be traced back to Ireland, where the family there still has a castle (Which is now a museum).
Kaleeena, it´s a fantastic story.
April, having the castle of your ancestors as a museum, is awesome!
No one famous here, either...but my maternal grandmother stems from Oneida Indian in Wisconsin and I am told on my father's side, that our relatives used to own a piece of land that is now the London Airport. Side note...my mom graduated with Patrick Swayze! Does that count? LOL!
Wow, this is fun!
No one that was ever written down anywhere But I think my Great Grandma was a bad woman cause she up and changed her name one day no papers anything and back then things were different she lived with her fake name till the day she died.
My Dad, who has recently passed away, told me that his mother was related to David Livingstone, the missionary and explorer. I'd love to find out if this is true, and if so, exactly what the connection is.
No famous people that I know of. Good, strong grandparents on my mother's side though. My grandmother is my hero.
